If you have a say in the matter, if you can set up halfway along the long dimension (100') facing the short dimension (60'), you should have no trouble in this setting. Everyone will be within 75' feet.

Do not use reverb. You won't need it, and it will muddy the music and the announcements.

Run the music through the DJ Presets.

For the microphone, use the Preset that matches the make/model of the microphone. If there isn't a match use:

Tell people who are using the microphone to keep the microphone close to their lips and talk as though they are speaking into a tube - straight in, not across the microphone. Ask them to speak slower than usual so they will be understood. There's no point making announcements that no one understands.

I once read somewhere that turning down the bass eq a lot on the vocal mic, FOR TALKING, helps speach be much clearer and less muffled.

Never really tried that myself.

You could leave your Channel Edit button ON, for the microphone channel, and have the T1’s rotary dial on zEQ selected already - and just turn the bass up or down, depending on when you are singing or talking through the mic.

Assuming I can get the mic and DJ input channels set just below clipping, how far would you push the Master Volume? At what point should I consider adding self powered monitor(s)? Thru the Master out or Aux out on the T1, and then adjust monitors individually?

I've played lots of outdoor Farmers' Markets about the size you described. I have not needed monitors or any additional loudspeakers. A single L1® Model II was plenty. You may want to get (or rent) a B2 Bass module. That will give you more low-end to cover the space. I probably won't make much difference for the announcements.

If you want to run monitors - they have to be self powered and they will have their own volume controls. The simplest thing is to take a line out from the T1® Master Output to the monitors. What you're doing is simple so there's not much need for a separate mix (the reason you would use Aux). But if you want to read up on it, here's an article.

I forgot to mention I have two B1's that came with my original Model II. How will that compare to the B2? Should I stack them next to the L1 tower as I usually do, or spread them to the sides by chaining them?
